Checking In With the MyClubAccess App

The MyClubAccess app shows each member a QR code they can scan to check in. Whether that works at your club depends on the scanner at your door, not on the door system. If your scanner can read QR codes from a phone screen, members can use the app to check in.

Some door systems also have their own app:

  • Avigilon Alta / OpenPath: Members can use MyClubAccess or the Alta Access app. Both apps supports tap-to-unlock using Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Tap-to-unlock is not currently supported for custom club apps using FitBudd.
  • Passport: Members can use the MyClubAccess app, Passports app, or the club's custom app (via Fitbudd).
  • Online Check-in: Members can use the MyClubAccess app or the club's custom app (via Fitbudd).
  • EntrySentry: Members can use the MyClubAccess app or the club's custom app (via Fitbudd). 
  • Brivo: Members can use MyClubAccess or the Brivo app, but not both. Choose one for your club.
